We're working on the haiku competition: they've been scribed onto little cards, and we're taking the eight finalists out with us on our afternoon picnic to determine the winner. The tension... is... unbearable!

Am thrilled your blog is of note!Just finishing Thich Nhat Hahn'sOLD PATH, WHITE CLOUDSE, the journey and teachings of Buddha. Also, am engrossed in the Tao. Haven't read your years of blogs,but was curious. Are you a found-ation or organization in which one can become a member? Or is this blog strictly for entertainment?Petra

Where to begin! Thank you for the kind posts, and for the haiku, each and every one.

To answer specific questions:

Petra: You started with a good book. My best recommendation is "Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind", by Suzuki, as an equally excellent introduction to Zen that grows along with you. This blog is highly informal and just for sharing thoughts; I'm very glad you found something to your liking.

Natasha: the image at the top of the page is via the "Layout" option in Blogger. Within it, go to the "Page Elements" tab and add a "Picture" element across the top of the page. That allows you to place an image at the top of your blog, which can also have a link (which was a function added just a fortnight ago).
